The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. Hurt, no treatment

    Made Mar 1, 2016, sent to the company Mar 9, 2016, published by CPSC Mar 30, 2016

    The product, in the report: Light Bulb LED 100 Watt

    Heard something fall in kitchen. Saw strange object on floor. Picked it up it burned my fingers. The Cree bulb in the overhead light fixture had melted. The glass broke and was strange feeling. The yoke had melted off the bulb (That was the strange looking object that burned my fingers). This is dangerous. I could have been under the fixture and would have been injured. I am returning all bulbs that I have and sending Cree the defective bulb with a request for action.
